Little One Snack Pea Flakes - 230g

Little One Snack Pea Flakes - 230g is a 230g pack of flaked peas from Little One, given as a treat to small pets that would struggle with a whole dried pea.

Key Features

• Flaked, not whole: rolled flat at harvest, so a small animal can eat a pea without having to crack a hard pod.
• One ingredient: peas and nothing else.
• Easy to mix: flakes sit in with a grain mix, which is useful for getting a fussy animal to finish a bowl.
• 230g pack: the largest of the snack packs, so it suits more than one animal.

Using Them

• A pinch at a time over the usual food, or scattered for foraging.
• Peas are a legume and higher in protein and starch than hay, so they are a topping rather than a staple.
• A good first treat for a nervous animal, because flakes are soft enough to be eaten quickly.

Good To Know

• Treats are a small part of the day. The complete food and the hay come first, and a snack that pushes those out does more harm than its vitamins do good.
• Legumes in quantity can cause wind and loose droppings in a grass eater, so keep the portion to a pinch.
• Introduce any new treat in a small amount and watch the droppings for a day or two before giving more.
• Dried food picks up moisture fast here. If a pack has gone soft or smells musty, throw it out rather than feeding it.
• Keep the pack closed and dry, away from heat.
